Abstract

Digital technological transformation has reshaped patterns of marital relations among Muslim couples, particularly those experiencing Long Distance Marriage (LDM) due to educational mobility, professional demands, and economic circumstances. This study aims to analyze how digital transformation shapes communication patterns, financial support practices, role negotiation, and family resilience among Muslim couples within the context of LDM. Unlike previous studies that primarily positioned digital communication as a psychological or interpersonal communication variable, this study conceptualizes digitalization as an integrative framework that reconstructs marital practices from the perspective of Islamic family law. This study employs an empirical qualitative approach through field research involving eleven Muslim couples experiencing LDM with diverse professional backgrounds, lengths of marriage, and durations of long-distance relationships. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature review, and were subsequently analyzed using interactive thematic analysis. The findings reveal that digitalization operates in three main dimensions: as a space for developing intimacy through intensive virtual communication; as a medium for financial transparency, economic distribution, and deliberative role negotiation; and as a mechanism for strengthening family resilience through the integration of trust, spirituality, role flexibility, and long-term commitment. These findings demonstrate that digitalization does not displace the normative values of Islamic marriage, but rather reconstructs their implementation within contemporary Muslim families.
